Reception

Tamilmovienow wrote, "Director Anwar has created an entertaining love story with plenty of thrilling moments and twists."^[5] Chennai Online wrote, "Ooty has an interesting first half and a very slow paced second half. Murali performs the role of the despondent lover with conviction. Hasn’t he performed similar roles a hundred times before? Roja looks fetching".^[6]
